Kristen Stewart has been making the red-carpet rounds to promote her latest film Certain Women, and her style has getting several honorable mentions. At the New York Film Festival on Monday night Stewart wore a sleek, unbuttoned Sandro suit paired with a burgundy lip and slicked back, bleach-blonde hair. The suit seems to be her look of the moment, since she also wore a black suit jacket (sans pants) just hours earlier.

“I do think power suits are making a comeback! Thank you, Hillary [Clinton]!” Stewart’s stylist Tara Swennen told VF.com over e-mail. “I think whenever anyone wears a suit—male or female—it gives them a sense of power, an embodiment of strength. Sharp tailoring has that effect with Kristen.”

Swennen, who’s been working with Stewart for 11 years, also revealed that it was Stewart’s idea to opt out of wearing a shirt underneath the double-breasted jacket.

“Kristen has always been a high/low girl—She can pair Chanel with a pair of Vans no problem—I think that’s what makes her so cool and relatable. It’s one of my favorite things about her!”

Stewart was notably absent from this week’s Chanel show in Paris, an event that she typically attends as one of the faces of the brand. While she had other press obligations in New York, she made a point of praising the fashion house during an interview with W saying, “I know it sounds silly, but telling a story with a garment, putting it in the right environment, walking it the fuck around correctly—it’s beautiful to me. And also these people, they’re really fucking smart. Everyone that works at Chanel and all the costume designers I find to be beautiful artists are some of the coolest people I’ve ever met.”

While Stewart is one of fashion’s muses of the moment, she’s still exposed to some of the darker corners of the industry, and is unapologetic about calling them out.

“I also acknowledge and fucking disdain the other aspect that that world attracts, which is fucking blatant . . . not just superficiality, but, like, mean people. Fucking really aggressive c—ts! I’m sorry. Really aggressive people,” she said. “People who would walk over your dead body. So those people are not artists. But that’s why fashion gets a bad rap. But it’s a pretty diverse world, I have found.”
